Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[Guest001]

Please help to clarify my query:
I got a 2011 Passat with built-in Satnav RSN510 with version as below

Part number: 1T0035680C
Hw version: H50
Sw version: 2840

which reliable firmware version that I can upgrade without any re-coding, etc..? 4020 or 4120?

Thanks

4120 No recoding with any version Same version as my somewhat hopeless Satnav

Thanks Hillbilly.
Do you have any issue with 4120?
Which 4120 image did you use? Is it the link in first page of this thread?

Thanks

Hi guys

Thanks to the awesome instructions I was able to update my RNS510 successfully - VIM and everything working fine.

My my only major problem is it appears that the Navigation DVD that came with my car is of such poor condition that when I insert it into the unit to reload my maps, it does not recognise the DVD at all. Tried to to burn a nice clean copy hoping that my laptop would have better luck, but no avail.

This may be the wrong place to be discussing stairs particular issues, but what are my options to get my navigation back? Can I download the DVD! or grab a copy off someone in Adelaide? If all else fails, I might be able to drop into the local VW dealer and see if they have one I can borrow?

Download the ISO from the link in reply 401 burn it slow and load that into the unit That's the version that most of us have used with success

Thanks Hillbilly - apologies for not finding this myself - this thread goes all over the place!

Hmmm - still the same problem....

I have burned the DVD at 1x (apparently successfully). I start up the RNS510 and select MAP or NAV, and it requests the Navigation DVD. When I insert it - it thinks for a couple of second, and then requests the Navigation DVD again, this time with an audible voice request as well. There is an "OK" button with the message that you can click, but the system seems to sit doing nothing after that.....?

Is it worth burning another copy of the Nav DVD? I'm hoping I haven't upgraded the firmware incorrectly and buggered the SatNav!

If the firmware update finished correctly you haven't WHat map version is in it because it wont load a second copy of what you have .

Eg got V5 need V6 Got V6 you don't need anything You can downgrade to V5 and then go back up to V6 but I found I couldn't reload the same version a second time.
Tried when I was comparing the streets shown in the two versions. Otherwise go and see "Transporter" forum moderator who is in Adelaide

After you insert the map DVD you should just hear it spinning, and the map should slowly load up the map picture of your location (because it is reading from slow DVD).
In the background it will start copying the map data to HDD.
If you hit the eject button you will get a warning message and also progress bar for the load.

Kamold and Hillbilly

Cheers for the advice. I can confirm that my burned DVD must have been no good because I went and caught up with a mate for lunch who worked at Solitaire (local dealership) and grabbed the V6 maps off him to upload. His DVD worked a treat in comparison to my burned one - all copied over in about 5 minutes and working perfectly.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions - I was getting a bit worried for a second there!

guys, I need your advise

Guys, I need your opinion.

I just bought my dream car, a 2011 mk 6 GTI.

I want to update the firmware of my RNS 510 but I'm not sure which one I should get as my unit doesn't match anything from the front page.

This is what I have:
HW: H55
SW: 3970
1T0 035 680 D

What do you think?

Thanks heaps.

Use the link in the first post for 4120 Its a D unit by the look of that

[Kiaorana]

Awesome, chur bro

[hitman]

hey guys, first off Happy New Year!

now, I am updating my wifes maps and firmware but the secret menu doesnt work. I went into VCDS and changed the diag mode to 1 from 0 and still can't get the menu up. Anyway these are the details from VCDS
VAG Number: 3T0 035 680 A
Component: RNS-MID H41 2854
Shop #: Imp:790 WSC 73430

now according to the post at the start it means I should use 4xxx firmware but is this going to be slow? isn't my unit an A model?

[kamold]

It's not an A unit, yes you can use 4120. A, B, C rev etc only refer to Vw golf/polo/tiguan etc parts so a bit of a misnomer.
